Precisely why I hang around here. I hope I don't end up talking to myself. I've had a hard time being online the past week what with all the storms in the evenings. We finally got that tropical air out of here and may now proceed with a Temperate Summer. Oh goody, the weatherman just announced that the drought watch remains. I'm sure the folks in shelters are agreeing with that!

How high's the water in your area, Frank?

29 hits in one day on the subject of why are there are so few postings.

Four days in Disneyland for the Pirates of the Caribbean II premier and preview rides on the slightly modified ride. Also had Justin try a water slide for the first time. He came up with a new word that he used a lot there; "Again!". Too many years working with these people to care much myself, but it was fun watching Lynne at the red carpet for the first (and she pledged last) time. Fun until I called to Lynne to get a snapshot of Tia Carerra and she turned around and said "Who?" and missed the shot.

All of my time since getting back home has been taken up with helping Lynne get ready for tomorrow night's trip to Israel. She has been asked to present a paper at an international conference on disabilities and we had to scramble to get her there with everything she needs.

I did find a good displace for the Russian Glider/Truck diorama the other day and I'll get back to that (figures, weathering/diorama base) starting on Saturday. Among the few display cases at the Container Store was one for cereal boxes (?) that is a perfect size.

If the day isn't too hot I'll finish the cabinets in the garage where the shelves had collapsed. By the time Lynne gets back the four foot stacks of magazines in the hall will be back in place and I'll be able to get back to work researching stuff for clients.

Yes, there's other stuff going on as well as the internet, and for me it usually comes down to a choice - wife, internet, or plastic.

I don't think the group will wither, it's just a cycle as someone said. Me I only contribute when I have some thing to say, and that's not often as I am not a competition winning modeller, just a below average hacker.

Oh, and it's not summer, it's the middle of winter down here in Australia. Don't assume that life ends outside the USA. In fact, it begins outside it.

Trying to convince my wife to let me do the same. I've pointed out it's the safest motorcycle ever made.

No chance I'll ever get it to run!

Hell if I know. :-) I only check in a couple of times a week now from where I work. I am almost never on the home computer anymore. I work almost 2 hours away from home, so I don't get much done when I am home anymore, and modelling is way down the list for me. I have been playing my bass again, when I do have some spare time and I have any energy. I expect I will get back to models sometime. I need to setup a bench so if I just have 5-10 minutes I can actually build stuff, and not just get stuff set out and then run out of time.

I miss the days of the TPC and the Mon-Key here myself. Used to be more fun to be here, now mostly it is just informational at best,and mostly aircraft at that.

I did build a (gulp) airplane model this spring, just to show my new wife that I actually do build and not just collect. It was tough. and it was a bigger scale, a french WWI biplane that was on sale for really cheap. Not sure how you guys can build them all the time. Too many small parts for me. Course, I need to start building 1/8th scale cars if I hope to see the parts anymore. :-( Russ

D> What is happening to traffic? Is it just that summer is here? The last

Well, I'm just outside Scranton and little of Scranton was affected. When locals refer to the Lackawanna River, they chuckle that it's more a creek than a river. That creek fills up quite nicely, thank you. Personally, I simply had to drain the pool a few times. Some folks I know in Wilkes-Barre fared worse but, all in all, it could have been much, much worse. How 'bout you? Feet dry?

Oohhh, Yea! One thing I definitely do not miss is that long ride to and from work. I'm retired now. One time I lived only 10 minutes from work but that was too good to last and when I had to change jobs it was an hour each way. That is a lot of time cut out of your day. And then there is the matter of the cost of gas!! Maybe we don't want to go into that.

I used to live a couple of blocks from work, but it was uphill so I took the car. By the time I arrived at work, the starter was still winding down. :-)

No big problem here. There was a persistent puddle in the back yard but we're half a mile from the Conestoga and it's downhill. They call this area Grandview Heights for a good reason. Other areas got hit harder. Rampant development has a lot to with it. Water runs right off macadam parking lots where it used to soak into the former fields.
